Yost Renovation is a Go

The Regents authorized bidding out and rewarding construction contracts for a $14 million renovation to Yost Ice Arena following this season. The seating areas on three of the four sides will be replaced, the press box will be converted into luxury seating and a new press box will be built above that (I can't wait to see how they pull this off!).

Additionally, it is possible that the covered up windows on the south side of the arena will again be uncovered. Window technology has improved to the point where sun could shine through and not harm the ice.

Here was an artist's rendering from back in June.


That's pretty darn cool if you ask me. Gotta find somewhere else for the GLI, Frozen Four, and National Champions banners!

The renovations should be complete by next hockey season. I really love the commitment by the athletic department to keeping Yost functional for as long as possible. It's going to be a sad, sad day when the hockey team has to move to a new facility.

Dear Spammy McSpammerton,
Stop.
I know you want to try to get your little link to the top of Google for "renovation", but just stop. I get notified via email of every comment on this blog and I'm just going to keep deleting all of them. It takes me five seconds. Just save us both some time, save me some annoyance, and go elsewhere.

I don't want to have to turn on comment moderation. I get few enough as it is.
Love,
Yost Built

Nice post. I find out some thing tougher on various blogs everyday. Most commonly it is stimulating to learn to read content from other writers and exercise a specific thing at their store. I’d would prefer to apply certain while using the content on my own blog whether or not you don’t mind. Natually I’ll supply you with a link on your own internet blog. Thank you for sharing.
